Castellano Cheese
Castellano is a traditional, creamy, unpasteurized, hard Spanish cheese of either round or half cylinder shape. The fresh curds are drained in special, plastic hoops, which have zigzag marks on the rind. The pale yellow interior of Castellano is firm and dense. Compared to Manchego, it is quite moist, and has a few rice-sized holes. The cream-caramel taste is perfectly offset by the fresh acidity and hint of salt. It is a table cheese, served with the classic Spanish quince cheese, membrilla, whose fruity tang makes it pretty tasty.
